The masters for the songs were recorded during the Meet the Simon Sisters sessions two years earlier. The album was produced by up-and-coming music producer at the time, Jo Siopis. Siopis brought a raw and uncompromising merseybeat rock style to the Simon Sisters' record, having been clearly influenced by her earlier work on the Gerry & The Pacemakers album How Do You Like It?.
Releases
In 2006, Hip-O-Select re-released the album, along with Meet the Simon Sisters, as the single disc "Winkin', Blinkin' and Nod: The Kapp Recordings".
